// Romania ♥ Where to begin? What an amazing and different country. I just returned from a week in Bucuresti visiting a college of mine. I had no expectations beforehand, because I didn`t really know a lot about Romania, but now I know more.

Bucuresti is a town where you can se the big differences in Romania, both poverty and wealth. Although we mostly saw the rich part of Romania, and typically tourist places. We lived in my colleges big house in a rich neighbourhood, but when we visited the town of Bucuresti we could see more of the differences.

We liked talking with our taxi driveres and learned a lot from them about Romanias history and the communist time. For instance how the police knocked on the peoples door in the middle of the night to check if the young girls were pregnant and to make sure that they didn`t take an abortion since that was illegal at this time. Ceausescus palace is another reminder of the citys horrible history. This giant building, with such a horrible history. He removed a whole city to build his own big palace.

One day we visited Sinaia, a city in the mountains of Romania. It was such a beautiful city! Treehouses, mountains, parks and small stores. A lot of the pictures above is from this city. A big contrast to the city of Bucuresti.

I`m looking forward to tell you more about my experiences of Romania, and some reasons to visit this country and which places you should see! Hopefully this will not be the first and last time I visit Romania…
